Acquiescing To Expectations

I read on a post that we shouldn’t blame ourselves for acquiescing to expectations imposed to us by someone with more power.

It had more wordings to it and I thought it was quite powerful.

But as powerful as it was, it doesn’t remove the guilt I impose upon myself. I may be able to lift the guilt of allowing them to influence me but I am unable to lift the guilt of allowing myself to move forward with the request.

Does that make sense?
